Vortices in fluids and superfluids are fundamental to phenomena ranging from Bose-Einstein condensates and superfluid films to neutron stars and hydrodynamic micro-rotors, where background geometry often plays an important role. Curvature…
Using complementary numerical approaches at high resolution, we study the late-time behaviour of an inviscid, incompressible two-dimensional flow on the surface of a sphere. Starting from a random initial vorticity field comprised of a…

We present an analytical study of fluctuations of the Vortex Line Density (VLD) $<\delta \mathcal{L}(\omega) \delta \mathcal{L}(-\omega)>$ in turbulent flows of quantum fluids. Two cases are considered. The first one is the counterflowing…
In two dimensions a microscopic theory providing a basis for the naive analogy between a quantized vortex in a superfluid and an electron in a uniform magnetic field is presented. Following the variational approach developed by Peierls,…

We perform numerical simulations of finite temperature quantum turbulence produced through thermal counterflow in superfluid $^4$He, using the vortex filament model. We investigate the effects of solid boundaries along one of the Cartesian…
Quantum vortices are commonly described as funnel-like objects around which the superfluid swirls, and their motion is typically modeled in terms of massless particles. Here we show that in Fermi superfluids the normal component confined in…
A recent experiment has shown that a tangle of quantized vortices in superfluid $^4$He decayed even at mK temperatures where the normal fluid was negligible and no mutual friction worked. Motivated by this experiment, this work studies…
Vortices are commonly observed in the context of classical hydrodynamics: from whirlpools after stirring the coffee in a cup to a violent atmospheric phenomenon such as a tornado, all classical vortices are characterized by an arbitrary…
Vortices in electron fluids are a key indicator of electron hydrodynamics. However, a comprehensive framework linking macroscopic vorticity measurements with microscopic interactions and scattering mechanisms has been lacking. We employ…
After over a decade of experiments generating and studying the physics of quantized vortices in atomic gas Bose-Einstein condensates, research is beginning to focus on the roles of vortices in quantum turbulence, as well as other measures…
In the paper by Khomenko et al. [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{91}, 180504 (2015)] the authors, analyzing numerically the steady counterflowing helium in inhomogeneous channel flow, concluded that the production term $\mathcal{P}$ in the Vinen…
The flow of superfluid $^4$He around a translationally oscillating sphere, levitating without mechanical support, can either be laminar or turbulent, depending on the velocity amplitude. Below a critical velocity $v_c$ that scales as…
Since the idea of quantum turbulence was first proposed by Feynman, and later realized in experiments of superfluid helium and Bose-Einstein condensates, much emphasis has been put in finding signatures that distinguish quantum turbulence…
Filamentary regions of high vorticity irregularly form and disappear in the turbulent flows of classical fluids. We report an experimental comparative study of these so-called " coherent structures " in a classical versus quantum fluid,…

Spinorial or multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates may sustain fractional quanta of circulation, vorticant topological excitations with half integer windings of phase and polarization. Matter-light quantum fluids, such as microcavity…
Liquid 4He has been studied extensively for almost a century, but there are still a number of outstanding weak or missing links in our comprehension of it. This paper reviews some of the principal paths taken in previous research and then…
As first pointed out by Bardeen and Ginzburg in the early sixties, the amount of magnetic flux carried by vortices depends on their distance to the sample edge and can be smaller than one flux quantum, f0 = h/2e. In bulk superconductors,…
